You gotta love IRC...

<c0li> I once had so many blue "impressive" logos floating above my model that I crashed the server.
<c0li> Sometimes when I'm playing nightmare bots and I start to get those yellow "excellent" symbols above my head
<c0li> I get so many that the framerate drops to about 5 fps
<c0li> so I can no longer see what direction the bots are moving in
<c0li> But I still know where to shoot
<c0li> so I have to deliberately miss just to keep the framerate manageable.
<c0li> Tomorrow I'm due to play DC.Giant on q3tourney2
<c0li> I'm going to try to beat him using nothing but rotating on the spot
<c0li> If I time it right I can frighten him into the precipice
<c0li> Hope the final version comes out in UK soon
<c0li> I'm getting bored of playing 4 nightmare bots with me on 25 handicap and using nothing but buzz saw
<c0li> When you win maps on q3tourney2 against 6 people from clan [9] simply by constantly scaring everybody down the precipice near the armour & teleporter, you can't help but be big-headed
<c0li> I never even pressed fire.,
<c0li> In fact I don't even have fire bound to any key
<c0li> or movement
<c0li> I just jump at exactly the right time to scare them off
<c0li> Final score was 0 to me, and -6 to HAkeem, -7 to Nikodemus, -10 to xenon
<c0li> YES I HAVE PLAYED DR
<c0li> I PLAYED 5 OF THEM ON THE LONGEST YARD
<c0li> THRESH, MAKA, UNHOLY, D2B2, IMMORTAL AND FRICK
<c0li> I MADE HEAVY USE OF THE QUAD BUZZ SAW
<c0li> To bring home a comfortable victory
<c0li> yes - they claimed to be tired
<c0li> they said they were jetlagged after having had to walk from their sitting room to their bedrooms to get to their pc`s.
<c0li> Also, at one point in the game I deliberately (and unknown to them) engineered for them to be lined up in a line.
<c0li> At this point I railed them and got 5 kills and one near kill
<c0li> Whereupon the guy who I didn't kill cratered 1 second later
<c0li> At one point I air-rox`ed thresh after he grabbed quad (I let him get it).
<c0li> He died and dropped the quad, It was falling off the level
<c0li> so I did an inverse rj, actually using the blast force to fall faster than the quad, Caught it
<c0li> then quad-rj`s off Thresh's falling body to get back up onto the level
<c0li> simultaneously grabbing the 100h and railing Unholy
<c0li> They said I was the best player they had ever played
<c0li> but said I couldn't join Deathrow because I would take all the limelight
<c0li> So I put my handicap up from 25 to 50 and wooped them hardcore
